While 89 per cent of Indians and 91 per cent of Chinese support foreign trade, the figure is only 59 per cent in the world's largest economy, the US, the Pew Global Attitudes survey of more than 45,000 people in 47 countries has found.
While in the two Asian giants the public support for foreign trade has remained almost same since 2002, in America it has seen a sharp decline since 2002, when 78 per cent believed it was having a positive impact.
Interestingly, when it comes to views about multinational corporations the two rapidly expanding Asian economies of China and India are experiencing different trends.
The Chinese are now less likely to believe foreign corporations are helping their country and while more and more Indians are seeing a positive impact.
India's South Asian neighbours -- Bangladesh and Pakistan -- also have become substantially more welcoming to foreign companies over the last five years.
In India, 73 per cent of the public believes foreign companies are having positive impact on the country, while in the US only 45 per cent believe foreign companies are good and that people are better off in free market economies.
D.N.Barola feels that US always had held that Globalisation will benefit it.US is biggest businessman politician of the world and the US cannot relish the competitin thrown by other countries of the world.With the riches reaching its optimimum, the US citizens have become lethargic. They insist on a certain level of facilities and excellant working conditions.Even while at War, they require women to fulfill their sexual appetitie. Whereas the Indians and Chinese work late and work with a spirit of challenge while in foreign countries. Even in India if you try to find the story of their success, it is always hard and systamatic work. They work hrd without bothering for the facilities at the place of work. Nalturally Indians craze for free market economy has increased.
Many people tend to view economic Globalization in isolation,whereas,the real idea of Uncle Sam is a "Gloabal Village",the so called New World Order,in which he(she?) will be the village elder,in all matters,including Military.That is a US hegemony,of the world.
Globalization certainly contributes to development of under developed, developing and developed nations however as long as it is purely economical. However the western policy extends imposing cultural and political elements and at times seems subvertive. This is deplorable and that is why there is so much of anger and protests against the western companies.
